Gold Explodes Upward for a Huge Gain!!!!!!!!!!!

The BLOG made money today in its Long Gold, British Pound, and Corn positions.  Cocoa was relatively unchanged.  The markets are showing disapproval of what is being done to our U.S. Dollar.

The numbers below tell the story:  we haven't been in many of our positions for a very long time, but the gains are good.

New Signal:  Go LONG Heating Oil: Market On Open.  Symbols: HOK11 and UHN.  Record: 64 wins out of 97 trades for 66%.   Initial Stop: about $1200 for futures and about 1% for ETF.  This track record, while fairly credible statistically, is not a very good record.  I almost didn't pass it along to you.

All the best!
